BBC World Service to broadcast for the first time from within the Arctic Circle<\/h2>\n

BBC World Service English has signed a new agreement with Guovdageainnu Lagasradio (GLR) – a local FM radio station in Northern Norway that serves the local S\u00e1mi community. The agreement will allow GLR to broadcast content from the BBC World Service, bringing international news and other programmes to their listeners.<\/p>\n

GLR will broadcast 93 hours of BBC World Service English programming weekly, enabling them to extend their broadcast to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. GLR already provides the local community with local news, culture and S\u00e1mi music. Traditionally known in English as \u2018Laplanders\u2019, the S\u00e1mi are one of the northernmost indigenous people of Europe.<\/p>\n

Stephen Titherington, Senior Commissioning Editor, BBC World Service English, says: \u201cSuch international connections are at the core of the BBC World Service – we want to reach different cultures and communities across the globe and reflect their stories in our programmes. We\u2019ve aired major reports on the S\u00e1mi people and culture over the last year, and this agreement with GLR will in turn provide people in the region with access to our trusted international news and documentaries through their own community radio and help link them to what\u2019s going on in the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nils Martin Kristensen, Editor of Guovdageainnu Lagasradio, says: “As Editor of GLR – Guovdageainnu Lagasradio – I am happy to be partnering with the BBC World Service, and I am confident that the people of Kautokeino and Karasjok will welcome this opportunity to get news from all over the world from the renowned broadcaster BBC World Service. This broadcasting agreement is a very important step for GLR to be able to share international news with our audience.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
